Much of the software in the Silicon Graphics Laboratory can be useful for illustrating lectures
In particular, MacroModel is good
at displaying and manipulating inorganic and organic structures and Molecular Dynamics simulations.
Cerius2 can be used to display zeolites
and crystal structures, illustrating their Miller planes and providing a wide range of other images.

Cambridge students and researchers can run some demonstrations
on the newer Silicon Graphics Teaching Laboratory computers
(fcal - ncal).
To use the demonstrations described here, log on to any of the newer
Silicon Graphics Teaching Laboratory workstations, then type:

setenv PATH /usr/local/teach/bin:$PATH

You will now be able to experiment with the demonstrations described
on these pages.
